1. Monolayer cultures of cauda epididymides from male Sprague-Dawley rats (210-230 g) were studied by the short-circuit current (ISC) technique to characterize the properties of the transepithelial chloride transport. In HCO(3-)-free, HEPES-buffered solution, adrenaline (0.23 microM) added to the basolateral side led to an increase in ISC and transepithelial conductance (gt). 2. Decreasing apical chloride concentration ([Cl-]a) progressively from 126.7 to 0 mM by substituting chloride with gluconate increased the ISC response to adrenaline (delta ISC) in a linear fashion with a slope of -1.6 x 10(-3) mu equiv h-1 cm-2 per millimolar change in [Cl-]a. Pretreating the tissue with a chloride channel blocker diphenylamine-2-carboxylate (DPC) on the apical side significantly reduced the slope to -4.9 x 10(-4) mu equiv h-1 cm-2 per millimolar change in [Cl-]a. 3. By substituting apical chloride with various anions and measuring the change in ISC upon adrenaline stimulation, the selectivity sequence of the apical anion conductance was found to be NO3- approximately Br- > Cl- > I- > gluconate > isethionate. 4. When the monolayers were bathed with Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 25 mM HCO3- and 5% CO2, the delta ISC at each [Cl-]a as well as the dependence of delta ISC on [Cl-]a (slope = -3.3 x 10(-3) mu equiv h-1 cm-2 per millimolar change in [Cl-]a) were significantly greater than the HCO(3-)-free counterpart. Addition of 0.1 mM acetazolamide or 0.5 mM SITS (4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulphonic acid) to the basolateral side significantly reduced the effects of HCO3- and CO2. 5. When the tissues were bathed on both sides with HCO(3-)-free, HEPES-buffered solution and were clamped at various transepithelial potential differences (PDt) from +30 mV (lumen positive) to -30 mV (lumen negative), the relationship between the clamping current response to adrenaline (delta ICL) and the PDt applied was linear. Zero clamping current response was found at -6 mV. Decreasing [Cl-]a to 0 mM reduced the dependence of delta ICL on PDt and delta ICL was positive at all PDt tested. The response of the transepithelial conductance to adrenaline (delta gt) did not depend on the PDt applied but was reduced with decreasing apical chloride concentration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
